After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you 31 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had 32 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without 33 , you went over and 34 the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 35 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kid will really enjoy 36 this.”
Last week, a young man 37 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 38 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 39 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 40 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15 41 , which came to a little over $20. That is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 42 you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so 43 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 44 to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 45 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her 1 mother with whispered desperation(绝望), “ 2 a miracle(奇迹) can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 3 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 4 her way six blocks to the local drugstore(药店).
“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.
“It’s 5 my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 6 . His name is Andrew and he has something 7 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”
“We don’t 8 miracles here, child.I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling 9 at the little girl.
In the shop was a 10 customer. He stooped (弯腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother 11 ?”
“I don’t know,” she replied.“He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 12 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 13 .”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“One dollar and eleven cents, 14 I can try and get some more,” she answered quietly.
“Well, what a coincidence(巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents — the 15 price of a miracle for little brothers. 16 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 17 your parents.”
That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon(外科医生). The operation was completed without 18 and it wasn’t long before Andrew was 19 again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 20 of a little child.
